Show your Bird Portraits

Back in photography and at CR after a lengthy sabbatical.

Took this earlier this week with the 7D2 and the 100-400 II. Image cropped mostly because the bird (Ashy Prinia) is extremely small.

Always nice to view this thread to see nice shots of many different birds. Thanks to all. This must be one of the nicest mannered threads on the whole internet! ;D

I only hire the best models and pay a high price. Unfortunately there aren't too many available in my area. :(

I now mix/cook my own suet mix to prevent me from going broke. Those big guys eat a lot, ;)

Anna's hummingbird a male in his prime, a breeding female, and a young male. The older male defends his feeder but lets his chosen females and sometimes the young male drink. I got to see the male and female breeding, but they were too fast for me to reset settings and capture them. It was all done in the air.

Jack BTW I like your pecker pictures :o, maybe someone should start a thread, or not. ;) Say that five times fast.
